Fossil Collector is an NPC.
Summary[]
The Fossil Collector is an NPC found at a stall inside a space station.
They allow players to exchange fossil specimens through a barter system. Fossils are procedurally generated and grouped into four main categories: Skulls, Torsos, Limbs, and Tails.
Fossil Trading[]
The Fossil Collector offers a "Trade Negotiations" interface.
Players may select a fossil from the collector’s catalog and offer up to three fossils from their own inventory in exchange. The interface displays a **Trade Odds** percentage based on the proposed offer. If the offer is accepted, the selected fossil is received. If not, the trade fails.
No currency is involved in the exchange. Only fossil specimens are used.
Additional information[]
Fossils are discovered by excavating planetary ruins or buried remnants using the Terrain Manipulator on suitable biomes. Each fossil has a unique name and visual appearance, generated procedurally.
There are no associated rewards beyond collecting and trading fossil types.
